Mental Marsh


I ponder about loses, feeling gritty, or slithering slime: at church laughing, this listless unreality, this feudal scientific: this tatted maniac, this fearful feature, our rolling eyes: this dog-life, this cat-atmosphere, or days by control feeling secure: that uprooted island, this treacherous ba, or ka to existence: this bird coop, that ocean flame, our haywire fences: this bold heart, this warm wrath, at curses ruing your slavery: as ruined adolescence, this roof of missiles, this gutted intestinal—as more for tasty, this clear damsel, or years to fatal destruction: our bowels dripping, our masters dying, or rapt’d for clinging to mortal concrete: those abusive liaisons, this crippling attraction, this angelic soil—while mother dangles, this mental portrait, this dying son: if but for resistance, or hailing rain, as built a second by loneness: this abstract confidence, if but this lonely room, to cross paths crumbling at seduction: this high horse, this Crazy Horse, this galloping churn-fire: at white oil, this night of thieves, or that silent hello: to give life, aching with tyranny, to enter thrust into sheer decimation: this battlefield, or withheld adoration, while flogged for devastated: those reaper fringes, this immortal personality, or features becoming infatuated.     I die a notch, looking at possessions, a bit weary concerning satiation: such comely tallness, such rounded astuteness, or so young working physicality: this abandoned maniac, that creepy word, while none inquire about mental pegs: this trained feature, this ruby wine, or those tetras alibis: moreover, this birth, to need acceptance, while denied existence—feuding with human desperation: those hypnotic lenses, this casual response, such anger demanding immediacy: to floor this plan, and feeling goodness, to realize this rapture indecency: at dalliance in private, at gestalt walking his crowd, or ruined for her brains are incessant: this thought for reason, to ask concerning purpose, while ruined in Eros: our gorgeous heartbreaks, our mechanic replies, or too deep to fully satisfy immortal balance: this chief for honesty, this chief for deaths, this miracle laughing while reneging.     Oh God, this weakness, this claim upon sanity: this walk in capsules, this deep enclosure, this motif ripple: our abandoned membranes, this cerebral warfare, or days to having but not fully possessing: as casual maniacs, or features mourning, or grandiose nonsense: this inner falderal, this mental positivist, or this church hound: at religiosity, praying this damsel, at eyes sensing this religious body: our guts for holiness, our hearts revved, or indebted to one too far to congratulate: as ever crying, and wiping eyes, if but those tomorrows: this bleeding theme, this screaming woman, or so deeply alone it feels good: that oxymoron, this scarred place, where God knows her name: this crafty specimen, this diligent genius, or this woman so far in hurts it has become hertz: those reaching mystical(s), this cleaving mythical, or cities to marsh to become indelible: that artistic spin, this graffiti in emotions, or feeble attempts not to melt.     I darken solace, sensing saviors, or mental to caterpillars diving too shallowly: this metal gate, this inner Jerusalem, this die to life theologian: this mere man, this human vessel, this kiln off for flimsy adoration: or egos protecting, or women laughing, at that second falling to tiles: that sought mental, that sought anklet, or years chasing this spiritual tassel: to feel awkward, while forced to function, a tear girt in muddy sands: as men falling short, or women partly deranged, where dementia has become compelling: those shifty lines, this radical damsel, those realized insights: this damage about Love, this lobby of apparitions, or days crawling this skin in you: as strangers possessed, while chasing faces, to come to solemnity two miles to our arrival: this gutted flute, this wedded temporal, or those saffron greetings: where Love wears purple, or Love wears blue, or Love leaks a sleeveless alimony: to cut grills, to die language, as to rush for grabbing filled with inner antipathies.
